SOUNDBITES – Monthly Poetry Open Mic
Live in the Assembly Bar + Kitchen!
Readings by a different local published poet each month. This month we’re delight to welcome IZZY BRITTAIN
Izzy is a Leeds based artist, performer, facilitator and poet, and works across dance, story-making, theatre and film. Her work is often interdisciplinary, participatory and improvisational.
She started to write poetry in her mid 20s. Her poetry has been published in Popshot, Bloody Amazing, Artychoke and other publications, and she has performed at Leeds Playhouse and Lawrence Batley Theatre among others. Finalist in the Write Bloody UK 2022 competition, her short film Still Witches (1) was selected for Verve Poetry festival’s Film Event 2023. Her pamphlet Invocation was longlisted for the National Poetry Prize.
